About Webtribe

What's a Webtribe?

Established in 2006, Webtribe is primarily a web development consultancy based in Melbourne, Australia.  Led by web developer Tom Sparrey, we specialise in providing web and design services for small to medium sized companies.  Our service range includes Web Design / Development, Graphic Design, Social Media Strategy and Branding.

We're a little different

For starters - we don't really have an office.  That's right, we like to use all sorts of places as our boardroom - coffee shops, libraries, maybe even a chat over a pub meal.  Even a Skype conversation suits us if we can't meet in person. 

Webtribe represents a network of individuals skilled in various aspects of graphic and digital design.  We are made up of web designers, programmers, animators, graphic designers, illustrators, artists and social media experts.  With this arsenal of expertise, we can deploy the appropriate resources to meet each project's needs.

No office? What's that all about?

Because of web technology and social media tools, the need for a physical office location is not really necessary.  We'd much rather sit down and meet our clients over a cup of coffee in one of Melbourne's funky cafe strips.  This provides a more relaxed environment where we can get to know you and develop an understanding of your business requirements.

Being office-less also keeps our overheads down.  We only need to charge for time and materials, giving our clients better value for money.

Finally... our philosophy

It boils down to two main goals. 

Firstly, we want your site to be intelligently built and visually engaging.  We won't just blindly build you a website.  We'll ask questions, pick apart the requirements and offer ideas you may not have thought of.  We'll cut through to your core objectives and develop a strategy to achieve them.

Secondly, we want the website to be successful.  Launching a website is like putting up a billboard in the desert.  We'll help spread the word about your website using SEO and SEM tools.  We'll advise you on how to use tools such as Google Adwords and Analytics to understand how people are finding and using your website.  Our social media experts can also create a strategy for you to make the most out of new technologies such as Twitter and Facebook.

Achieving these two goals is the Webtribe philosophy.
